Matt Rose out for the Season...but has another year at QPR...and other QPR Playe News

-TEAMTALK - Campaign comes to a close for Rs duoQPR duo Matthew Rose and Sammy Youssouf are out for the rest of the season due to injuryCentre-back Rose, 29, requires an operation on an ankle knock he sustained in the 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday on March 11, and Youssouf has a knee problem.Youssouf, a Danish striker on loan at Loftus Road until the end of the campaign, is now unlikely to earn a longer-term deal with the Rs - but caretaker manager Gary Waddock insists Rose still has a future at the club."Matthew is devastated and so are we - but he has still one year left on his contract," Waddock said. "When he is fit and available, he is a quality player - and we need him right for next season."Waddock was tipped to sign a two-year deal last week that would have made him Rangers' permanent manager - but he has still to do so, and John Gregory was linked with the post this week."You would have to ask [chairman] Gianni Paladini about my situation," Waddock added. "I'm happy, but I want the managerial situation resolved, so the club can plan for the future and move forward."

Andrew Howell will be introduced as he has done really well at youth and reserve team level.'That is five young players who will get their experience from not until the end of the season and that will be valuable for them.'After back-to-back defeats against Stoke and Crewe Waddock is demanded a reaction from his side ahead of the trip to Burnley on Saturday'We have good a chance to bounce back.

ClubcallQ.P.R - Waddock on Baidoo delay EXCLUSIVE07 Apr 2006 10:49Queens Park Rangers caretaker-manager Gary Waddock has admitted the club will have to wait until the summer before teenage striker Shabazz Baidoo makes a decision on his future.Rangers have already tied up the future of Stefan Bailey and Scott Donnelly on two-year professional deals but Baidoo has yet to sign up.The 18-year-old's contract expires in the summer and the worry is that the player could leave the club, but Waddock remains hopeful of keeping the player at Loftus Road."He has been offered two deal but both have been turned down," Waddock exclusively told clubcall."As everyone is aware I want him to sign and commit his future to the club.
